What does an exclamation mark on files mean?

Thank you.  It occurred to me that the connection to my external drive might
be the issue and it was, even though I had not physically disconnected it.
Thank you for your response.

  • What does a question mark and i file mean on my macbook pro

    what does a question mark and i file mean on my macbook pro when i turn it on?

    To be more specific, the computer is not finding a valid system when it starts up. This may result from the hard drive's physical mechanism failing, or the system on the drive being corrupted in some way.
    Repairing permissions is not likely to fix this issue. Instead I would suggest booting from the system install DVD, running Disk Utility, selecting your hard drive's partition and select *Repair Disk*.
    Note: if the hard drive does not show up in Disk Utility at all, it is dead and will need to be replaced. Contact Apple (800-275-2273 in the USA) and have them set up warranty service, or carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store to have it fixed. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail] first you you may wait a long time to speak to a Mac Genius.
    If Repair Disk finds any problems and is able to correct them, you may be able to restart and everything be okay. If it is unable to correct the problems, you will need to erase and restore your hard drive.
    If Repair Disk does not find any problems, I would suggest an Archive and Install as described in [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710].
    Best of luck.

  • I have many photos that are visible as thumbnails in the Pictures Library, however when I try to open them in a big screen they show a back screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle.  What does this exclamation mark mean ?

    I can see my images in the libarary as thumbnails but when i try to edit/email some of them become Exclamation Marks in a triangle.
    What does the exclamation mark mean and how to i retrieve the photo

    The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • What does the question mark in upper left hand corner mean

    what does the question mark in upper left hand corner mean

    Do you mean on a thumbnail in the organizer?That means that organizer has lost track of the original file. Usually that happens when you've done something with the photo outside of organizer, like moved it or deleted the original. If you want organizer to be able to keep track of your photos, you need to do all moving and deleting from within the organizer, not in Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder.

  • What does call failed and call busy mean?

    I call my bf on Skype every time I see him on there and it rings and eventually it says call failed and sometimes it will say call busy, what does call failed and call busy mean?

    If a call is marked as "Call ended" does this guarantee the other person ended the call, or can it also mean the call disconnected or was dropped?
    Was talking with someone and at one point the "Call ended - call dropped". Few other times it was just marked as "Call ended", they have bad internet. So is it possible the "Call ended" means the call was dropped due to internet or were they for definite hanging up?
    Thanks
    Hi WuTom,
    From experience, it depends on the platform which you are using. In my case, my boyfriend is using Skype for iPhone and I am using Skype for Mac. Sometimes I find that the "Call ended - Call dropped" is the result of bad internet on my or his part. "Call Ended" on its own could mean one of two things, among others:
    1. A person accidentally touches the red end call button; or
    2. Skype crashes unexpectedly (either because of internet as you said or other issues such as flat battery)
    This is just from my personal experience, but I do hope it clears some stuff up for you. 

  • What does the icon on my battery mean?

    hello nokia lebanon what does the exclamation mark (?) shown at the battery icon means ?
    Moderator's note: The title was edited. A better subject was provided.

    Hi NicolasMansour,
    What's your phone's model? If this is for a Windows phone, can you verify if this  is the icon that you're seeing? If yes, that means the battery power or state of the battery isn't known at the current time. See: What do the icons on my phone mean? If you're referring to a different phone or a different icon, would you mind telling us its model and sending us a screenshot so we can further check?
    We look forward to your reply. BTW, congratulations on your first post.

  • What does the check mark do?

    In the timeline, each video clip has a filename shown for both the video and audio track. Immediately to the right of the audio filename is a drop down menu that says "Volume Clip Volume" by default. If I look at the entries in the drop down menu, Volume and Balance, I get it that the audio track has those 2 audio effects assigned. By default, Clip Volume is checked.
    What I don't understand is why the check marks are mutually exclusive. If I check Balance -> Balance, it unchecks Volume -> Clip Volume, implying I can't have both at the same time.
    That's a roundabout way of asking what does the check mark in that drop down do?
    Bruce.

    Ah, I think that led me to the answer. The check mark changes the meaning of the yellow line, since it can only show one thing. If Balance is checked, the yellow line reflects the right/left balance. If Volume Clip is checked, then the yellow line reflects the clip setting. Cool.
    Thanks!
    Bruce.

  • What does "network connection has timed out" mean??!!

    What does "network connection has timed out" mean?

    It means that the destination server is taking too long to respond. This can sometimes be resolved by closing safari and reopening it, turning off your modem, and then after 10secs turning it back on, or if you have and airport extreme/express, or Time Capsule, restarting those.
    Good Luck

  • What does the "check mark" in iTunes beside the name of the song/artist signify?

    In iTunes when "MUSIC" is selected, and the list of songs appears. Why are some songs checked and others not? What does the check mark signify or accomplish?

    Tracks without a check mark are basically ignored by iTunes but left in the library.  Some people use it for deactivating seasonal (e.g., Christmas) music when they don't want it to play but still want it in their collection.  It also won't be synced.
